BASIC SKILL 1: The basic bounce
BASIC SKILL 2: The Knee Drop

Start with a low basic bounce (as detailed in BA-

Land on knees shoulder width apart, keeping back
straight and a strong body position using arms out
to the side or in front to maintain balance.

Bounce back to basic bounce position by using
bounce momentum and swinging arms above
head.

Once mastered at this height try bouncing a little
higher, but remember to always stay in control of
your height.
